Thirty community ideas move on to next round of Aviva Community Fund
After more than two weeks of voting, thirty semi-finalists are moving on to the next round in the Aviva Community Fund.
The Fund will provide $1,000,000 to community causes across the country, as voted on by the public and, often, sponsored by Canadian insurance brokerages. The Community Fund will finance at least one finalist from three categories: Small (up to $50,000), Medium ($50,000 to $100,000) and Large ($100,000 to $150,000.) Once the general competition closes, a special broker competition will allow a second chance for non-winning ideas of all sizes to win funding.
“After that,” said Aviva Canada, “We’ll fund additional finalists until all of the money is used up.)
A full list of the first round semi-finalists can be found here.
Round 2 voting begins at www.avivacommunityfund.com on October 24. Winners will be announced on January 25, 2012.
